She dies! She freaking dies in the end!!!!! It's such a bloody sad book but it's such a brilliant book. Jodi Picoult's probably the best person to write this book cause she's a mother of a child who has had ten sugeries in three years. Although this book has more medical terms than a my Biology textbook, and I will probably never know how to pronounce 3/4 of the terms used, I still love it nonetheless. I love the quote on the cover:

'If you use one of your children to save the life of another, are you being a good mother of a very bad one?'

You people should go and read this book and after reading it, you will think that you are the most fortunate person on this damn earth. I mean, seriously, nothing is more precious than your health lah. Even if you weren't sick but you were in and out of the hospital cause someone needs bits and pieces of you, isn't that the same as being sick?

So anyway, it's about this 13 year old girl who wants to sue her parents over the rights of her own body and stuff like that cause she has a super sick sister and she was conceived to save her sister. A designer baby according to the book. She was genetically modified to have the exact genes, the perfect match for her sister so she was always her sister's donar. She starts to question the purpose of her birth the only reason why she's alive was to save her sister. It's kinda sad in a way if you know that the only reason you are born was to be an extra for someone else huh? And in the end she dies!!

I was like reading the last part on the bus and when she died, I was almost cried lah. Thank god I didn't if not I will end up looking like some loser lunatic suffering from depression or something.

So yeah. Go read it. It's sad, and depressing with a hint of dry humour, and the whole family seems to be suffering in one way or another. Perfect for all you depressed people out there.
